Soong was at that game too?
A video like this released few days before the election is definitely going to leave the mark. Even if Iām not a fan of strumentalizing so much all the misfortunes of the people of HK.
Damn!
This have to cause some impact!
Every now and then she reminds me she comes from a long line of head-hunters.
Big head or little head?
Yay! Embeds work!Ā°
I think it will have the opposite effect. That familyās life in Taiwan is depressing.
Who wants their children playing video games and fighting on the internet all day?
Who wants to work hard for little and take the last train home every day?
It makes me want to vote Han and I hate him.
Soong is actually the best choice IMO, but that would be a wasted vote.
Who says the children had been playing video gains all day and who says that was the last train?
Well with such laughable logic no wonder you would want to vote for Han. Lol
Whatās wrong with video games?
I think the point of the video flew past you.
The point was fearmongering. That was easy to identify.
Thereās literally a country 160 km across the strait that has made it no secret that it would want nothing more than to end Taiwanās democracy and self determination.
They have shown that they cannot stand it if anyone disagrees with them. Have forced the end of free speech in western countries by threatening jobs of people who donāt toe the party line.
That isnāt fearmongering. This is a real and credible threat.
Can you vote?
And if China really wanted Taiwan, they would just take it. 2000+ missiles and a few EMPs towards the island is indefensible.
You think any of Taiwanās parties are going to hand Taiwan over to China? Not happening. As long as the status quo is maintained and the term āIndependenceā isnāt mentioned weāll be fine. Taiwan isnāt worth the international trade repercussions China would face after taking the island by force.
Does it matter?
Your argument in a nutshell is: China can take Taiwan if it wants anyways and to support my claim, I am going to describe how it canāt take Taiwan.
Funniest thing Iāve read all day.
No. China would still be OK despite sanctions, and the sanctions probably wouldnāt stick long, either.
Taiwan just isnāt worth the trouble now that their are alternative shipping lanes, and they can use the issue to spark domestic support.
I think the argument is that China can take Taiwan now, but it isnāt worth the trouble. If Taiwan declares independence, it becomes worth the trouble.
Youāre pretending like China doesnāt trade and export to Taiwan. Itās not just sanctions, but theyāre shooting a major customer of Chinese products as well.
A dead Taiwan can have enormous impacts on global trade, supply of IT equipment and can even directly cause the Chinese economy to shrink. An economy that goes from 6% growth to contracting is likely to spell the end of the Communist Party. They want Taiwan to be handed to them for free.
They canāt take Taiwan. Taking Taiwan is a suicide mission.
FB friend of mine says there are tons of Taiwanese at the Boston airport flying home to vote. Good news for Tsai.
Weather looks like itāll be okay tomorrow. I imagine thatāll bode well for voter turnout.
